Implication

Systematic review demonstrates substantial reductions in childhood malaria mortality and morbidity with insecticide-treated nets, highlighting the need for resources to scale deployment.

Key Points

Evaluate the efficacy of insecticide-treated bed nets and curtains in curbing malaria transmission, morbidity, and childhood mortality, while assessing the operational requirements for universal coverage.
Evaluated the protective efficacy of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) and curtains against malaria-related health outcomes in children.
Examined systemic deployment requirements and strategies associated with the global Roll Back Malaria initiative.
Insecticide-treated nets are highly effective at decreasing malaria-related childhood morbidity and mortality.
Achieving universal coverage requires substantial financial, technical, and operational inputs across endemic regions.
